I need to re-measure myself as I messed up some readings…so Im going to get my tailor to help me.

1. As I am planning to wear the jacket with a tshirt at the very least, or at most with a tshirt and a shirt over it, I thought it might make good sense to dress up that way when I go for measurements….does this make sense or must my measurements be taken against bare skin?

2. Also, would like to understand what is the variance between the measurement given and the finished product…eg. if the shoulder measurement provided is 17.6 inches, will the finished product be exactly that…what sort of variance can one expect and do you reckon it could be more or less?

You could've just sent them an email...

But in my experience, #1 doesn't matter. Maybe if you were buying a latex body suit, but not here.
#2 also doesn't matter. Imagine attempting to cut and sew anything within .1 of an inch, and then trusting the consumer to accurately measure it.... Variance exists, but you'll always get something in the ballpark of what you wanted. Try to conceptualize the difference between 17.6 and 17.4 or 17.9 inches... Doesn't really matter on a freaking leather jacket lol.

Best thing you can ever do in this process: ID a jacket that fits you perfectly, take measurements from that and talk to Charly about them.
